Soulevator

2015/2018

I take you up. I take you down. I listen to you when you fart. Don't make me angry as I have grown a mind of my own. We'll see if I also got a soul.

Experience

This one thumb control arcade game has you play as an elevator in a building filled with these funny characters called humans. See people get into fights, shake them up a little to fall back in love. Stop robbers by falling and stopping. Just don't break their necks. Or do? It's your soul, you decide if it'll be good or evil.

Behind the Scenes

I've had this concept in the pocket probably since 2013, but didn't get around it until 2016 and then later in 2018. It was a lof of firsts - relearning Unity, learning pathfinding, learning coding, learning physics, learning mobile dev. It was a lot.

I've produced a working physics-driven prototype, where you had people get into the elevator and you could beautifuly shake them up and down, before they got out on their floor.

Sadly today the initial paper sketches and the physics-fun-filled prototype were lost to time. Only the below digital sketches have survived.
